透明家庭第一季

平均三句一错吧……挂一漏万地摘录几处——

第4集：
9分16秒，“My dad came out to Ali.” 被译为“我爸爸去找阿里了”，应为“我爸向Ali出柜了。”
10分25秒，“Outing a trans person, it’s like an act of violence.” 被译为“批判一个变性的人就好比一个暴力行为”，应为“暴露一个跨性别者的身份，这简直是暴力行为。” [按，拜托不要再把trans译为“变性”啦……第8集中的一大段倒叙戏，不就是为了反思曾经在“变性者”（transsexuality）与“易装者”（crossdressing）之间划定的界线、以及因而衍生出的冲突和压迫吗？]
11分16秒，“She, like, made me squirt.”被译为“她让我欲望膨胀”，应为“她，那个，搞到我潮吹。”
11分19秒，“You mean female ejaculation?” 被译为“你是说女性高潮？”，应为“你是说女性射液？”

第9集：
Raquel和Josh的一整段对话完全译错……[按，Rabbi即犹太教的“拉比”（其实标准发音是“拉拜”），专业神职人员（故其现代职业伦理要求不可以与聚会者发生亲密关系），笼统地说，可类比天主教教会中的神父、新教教会中的牧师或清真寺里的阿訇的角色。这位Raquel就是一个Rabbi。]
Raquel: I could have been kicked out of the temple.
字幕译法：我可能会被教堂扫地出门。
本人译法：我已经可以被教会扫地出门了。
Josh: For what?
字幕译法：为什么？
本人译法：（一致）
Raquel: For fucking a congregant, Josh.
字幕译法：因为和宗教人士在一起，乔什。
本人译法：因为和信众（聚会者）上床，Josh。
Josh: I'm not a congregant.
字幕译法：我不是宗教人士。
本人译法：我不是信众（聚会者）。
Raquel: I put you on list. I added you to my email blast.
字幕译法：我把精力都放在你身上，还没完没了发邮件。
本人译法：我把你拉进来了。我把你加入我的邮件组了。[按，这一句其实很好笑，也含有对美国当代宗教组织和专业主义吐槽的意味，而误译完全抹杀了其喜剧效果。]
Josh: Yeah, I'll unsubscribe. I don't care.
字幕译法：是的，我会注销账户，无所谓。
本人译法：好吧，我会取消订阅的。我没关系。
Raquel: That is really gentlemanly.
字幕译法：这是真正的绅士。
本人译法：（反讽）您真有礼貌。

附上一个trans小词典，来源：http://transwhat.org/glossary/

An ally, in this context, refers to a cisgender (see below) person who fully supports the rights of trans people, treats their genders with respect, and actively helps work against transphobia. Allies are educated about trans issues and are willing to speak up against discrimination.

Androgyny is the quality exhibited by people who are difficult to identify as either clearly male or clearly female. Some trans people whose genders cannot be classified as strictly male or strictly female call themselves androgynes.

Assignment of gender refers to the way that we assume others' genders based on their bodies. When a child is born, our culture slots it into one of two groups: male or female, avoiding all overlap. We "determine" the child's "correct" identity based on a quick visual assessment of the appearance of its sexual organs, and we do so by following a specific dichotomy. (A vulva-bearing child is typically assigned female at birth, or AFAB, for short. A penis-bearing child is typically assigned male at birth, or AMAB.) Gender assignment mostly tends to work out for those involved, but many trans people are notable exceptions to this.

Cisgender is a word used to describe people who are not transgender; likewise, cissexual describes the non-transsexual. This word is a simple opposite, formed by using the prefix "cis" (on the same side/not "across") as opposed to "trans" (across/beyond).

Coming out, in reference to trans people, can have two separate meanings:

From a non-transitioned person: disclosing to someone else that you are trans, and that your preferred gender is not the one that you were assigned at birth.
From a transitioned person: disclosing to someone else that you have transitioned, and were not originally assigned as a member of the gender in which you currently live.
Crossdressing is a term that describes the practice of using clothing tailored toward the wearer's "opposite" gender. Men who dress this way would wear clothes made for women, and vice versa. A desire to crossdress isn't uncommon in straight cisgender males — some crossdressers, however, would characterize themselves as transgender. Sometimes crossdressers are called CDs for short.

Drag is a type of performance that features crossdressed people; women who perform drag are called drag kings, and men drag queens. (Note that not all crossdressing is part of a drag act.) Kings and queens are often lesbian or gay, though not always — many identify with other sexual orientations. Some drag performers would call themselves trans, and some would not.

Dysphoria, in this context, describes a variety of negative feelings that are related or connected to someone's gender or sex. Trans people who experience dysphoria may be profoundly uncomfortable with certain aspects of their bodies, particularly sex characteristics. They may also have a strong aversive reaction — perhaps sadness, or anger, or disgust — upon being called by the (inappropriate) pronouns of their birth-assigned genders, or the inappropriate-gender names that were used for them before they came out.

Femininity refers to qualities that are thought of as being womanly, that are typically ascribed to women, and that are considered to be socially appropriate for a woman's behavior. People who exhibit self-described femininity do not necessarily think of themselves as women: some men (including trans men) are feminine, some women are, some genderqueer or androgynous people are.

Female-to-male (FTM, FtM, F2M) is an adjective or noun for men whose bodies were initially assigned female. These men often undergo the social and/or medical transition that the acronym implies.

Gender refers to the sociological set of boundaries and signifiers that may define people as being feminine, masculine, or androgynous. When you look at someone and decide that she's a girl, based on her appearance, behavior, and presentation of self, you're judging her gender (not her sex).

The gender binary is a very common system of thought, referring to certain ideas that many people hold about gender and sex. The gender binary is not correct. It presumes that everyone is either male or female (not so!), and it implies that trans people flat-out do not exist. It is based on the following three principles:

There are two genders: man and woman.
Every human is either a man/boy or a woman/girl.
Humans born with XY chromosomes, penises, testicles, etc. are always men; humans with XX chromosomes, vaginas, ovaries, etc. are always women.
More accurately, it could instead be said that:

There are many genders; man and woman are, as it happens, the two most common.
Not all humans are either men/boys or women/girls. Lots are, some aren't.
Gender and physical sex have a complex relationship to one another, and being born with a certain body doesn't guarantee a certain identity. The majority of men were assigned at birth as "male," and women assigned as "female." The human population varies widely, however, and the former statement is certainly not infallible — hence the need for this website!
Gender identity describes the psychological recognition of oneself as being a member of a certain gender. Gender identity is determined by a person's internal perceptions; it is separate from physical sex, which is an absolute that's determined before birth.

Gender-neutral pronouns are used to avoid referring to someone as "he/him" or "she/her." Some people explicitly ask for gender-neutral pronouns, as these are the most comfortable for them; other people will use them as generics. A short list of the most common gender-neutral pronouns:

They, them
They smiled • I called them • their cat purred • it's theirs • they like themselves

Sie, hir (pron. see/hear)
Sie smiled • I called hir • hir cat purred • it's hirs • sie likes hirself

Zie, zim (like he/him, but with a "z" at the front)
Zie smiled • I called zim • zir cat purred • it's zirs • zie likes zirself

Ey, em (like they/them without the "th")
Ey smiled • I called em • eir cat purred • it's eirs • ey likes emself

Gender presentation refers to the way a person looks, dresses, or acts; it describes the "gender signifiers" that are part of their external appearance or mannerisms. Drag kings who wear stick-on beards, for example, are deliberately trying to make their gender presentations as masculine as possible.

Genderqueer is an identity taken on by a variety of people who feel that, in some way, the very substance of their genders lies outside the gender binary's two labels of "male" and "female."

Gender role describes the set of expectations that are ascribed to a certain gender in any given culture, relating to how to people of that gender "should" (among other things) behave, talk, dress, and think.

Male-to-female (MTF, MtF, M2F) is an adjective or noun for women whose bodies were initially assigned male. These women often undergo the social and/or medical transition that the acronym implies.

Masculinity refers to qualities that are thought of as being manly, that are typically ascribed to men, and that are considered to be socially appropriate for a man's behavior. People who exhibit self-described masculinity do not necessarily think of themselves as men: some women (including trans women) are masculine, some men are, some genderqueer or androgynous people are.

Non-op, short for non-operation, describes people who don't plan to undergo any surgery related to their trans status. There are a variety of reasons for this decision, ranging from pervasive medical difficulties to discontent with the surgical results to simple lack of desire.

A person who passes, although assigned with one physical sex, is able to resemble the other sex closely and convincingly in the public eye. This word is technically a misnomer; trans people who "pass" are not doing so as trickery or disguise, but rather revealing their actual genders.

Post-op is a simple descriptive term used for people who have completed all the sex reassignment surgery that they plan to undergo.

Pre-op, likewise, refers to people who wish/plan to have surgery, but who have not yet undergone it.

Sex refers to various qualities displayed by the human body that, strictly medically speaking, define people as being male, female, or intersex. When you decide that a someone's sex is female, you're mentally juggling many different traits of her physical self — her genitals, her hormone levels, her chromosomes, her internal sex organs, her secondary sex characteristics — and finally making the judgment call that her body can be, as a whole, classifiable as "female" according to the normative standards of medical science. (Note that the "scientific standards" of sex are at least partly culturally determined, according to a society's notion of what makes a body male or female.) Sex is distinct from gender.

Sexual orientation refers to, simply, towards whom someone's sexual desires and drives are oriented — perhaps towards only women, or only men, or towards nobody, or regardless of gender. It is separate and independent of gender identity.

Sex[ual] reassignment surgery refers to several types of operations; it is typically used to describe vaginoplasty (the creation of a vagina), metoidioplasty and phalloplasty (two ways to create a penis), and mastectomy (removal of the breasts, typically in a trans man). Certain other surgeries, involving removal of various parts of the internal reproductive system, are also often considered forms of SRS.

Stealth is a descriptor of people who, after beginning transition and living in their preferred genders, do not readily tell others about their upbringings or past lives within the birth-assigned gender. Some people are only comfortable when living in "deep" stealth, some practice stealth to a degree, and some choose to be more or less open about their trans statuses.

Transgender is an umbrella word that refers to all the folks who, more or less, either

Do not identify with the genders assigned to them at birth, either wholly or partially;
Consider themselves members of their birth-assigned genders, but who also state that their identities are strongly and consistently gender-variant (that is, radically different from what is expected of a "man" or "woman").
Some people who fall under these categories do not define themselves as transgender, for a span of different reasons, mostly having to do with personal preference and experience. When in doubt, ask the individual.

Transition refers to the process of changing one's living situation so that it suits the individual's gender identity more accurately. It can entail quite a lot of different actions, ranging from a social name-change to sex reassignment surgery, and has been given its own section on this website so that I may explain it in more detail.

Transsexuality describes the condition of being described/assigned as a medically typical "male" or "female" at birth, but having an identity that lies exclusively or near-exclusively within the gender that people tend to call opposite. A transsexual man was initially assigned female, and was probably raised within the female gender; vice versa with a transsexual woman. Transsexual-identified people often undergo a social/physical transition in order to live more comfortably within their true genders.

Transvestism is a rather outdated word that is equivalent to "crossdressing," and is usually used in reference to men who dress as women. Its use should be avoided, as some find it offensive.

Transparent 是亚马逊工作室原创的一部高质量美国喜剧电视连续剧，尽管大众翻译它为“透明人生”、“透明家庭”，但在我的诠释里，都不如“坦率人生”这四个字来得更准确贴切，名副其实。
不论该剧描绘的这个家庭生活从前彼此之间有多少难以表述的秘密，与不可言表的复杂关系，但从一家之主对三个孩子开始宣布他决定把房产转让给长女的那刻起，便是每个人揭开秘密，重回坦率的一步棋，无论事发主动或被动，主人公都坦率的接受或是不掩饰的表达。

我们可以批判一切，却没有诋毁他人最本质个性与喜好的资格。

Transparent 的整体构架就像一颗卷心菜，需要逐片剥开外层的裹覆才能寻见内在最鲜嫩的真实，而从家庭的权威者决意顺应天性，涂脂抹粉着装艳丽的招摇过市那刻开始，这个过程就像是一只无形的大手由外而内的一片片扒开这个家庭以及家庭成员的点滴。
虽然故事情节衔接的恰到好处，每一个包袱的抖落偶尔也会使观众略感应接不暇，但它的叙述方式却是格外平静的类型，就像全片柔软的色调一样，事情的发展也是那么的不经意，简单的直述感使电视剧增添了几分真实，就像完全将生活的过程录制剪接下来，变成一部影视作品般那样行云流水，不露声色。
从更主观的角度来说，Transparent 就像解放性向、支持同性游行的活动那样有意义，每个人都有着这样那样的因素将自己画地为牢，无论是为了哪个目的，终究束缚了自己，并因着某个原由不敢挣脱或是不能挣脱。从剧情的走向势态来看，仿佛是在告诉所有那些有现实担忧的人，做自己，并没有错。

  周末重温金球奖颁奖典礼中提到《透明家庭》，搜来看了下简介，看似有趣和冲突的剧情对我来说完全可以轻松的打法下无聊时光。立刻找来看，这个荒诞的美国家庭中的每一个都是惊世骇俗的奇葩，彼此间却有一种妥妥的凝聚力给我温暖，而对照自身文化中最“德高望重”的那个一家之主－Maura（Mort）的坦诚和宽容很给孤独的情感聊以慰籍，如果，能有更多想她一样的长辈，我想我会给予更多的尊重与敬重。
  我不得不镜像一个家庭在我们“世界”里的标准：像Maura一样的男人是一家中最威严的角色，意思就是他一定是行得端，走得直，人品纯善，为人正直，扛得起养家的重任，担得了国家的崛起，总之年轻一颗红心向组织，老年必须（此处加重语气）儿孙满堂，此所谓最基本的长者尊严；而女性的角色多半是贤妻良母，知书达理，勤劳善良，无私奉献；孩子的标准是孝顺（＊n次方）听话懂事，上学埋头读书，毕业事业成功，马上结婚生子。每个人都憧憬的家族场景都是美满幸福，和和气气团团圆圆（自动脑补春节可口可乐广告画面）。以上，只有两个字形容：不真实。
 正因如此，长者口中的我从小就性格内向，因为我习惯埋藏真实的自己，却不喜欢过多伪装，无力哄任何人开心，其实，很小的时候，我就能看穿成年人的假象，我的意思是说，每一个普通人或多或少都有好的一面和坏的一面，面对小孩子，成年人往往喜欢表现或伪装好的一面，也只愿意展现好的一面；长大一些，长者往往喜欢展现威严与见识，好让年轻人服从与追随，对此我越来越没有耐心陪着耍，就像那些政客。人无完人，即使父母，而每个小小的个体都那么独一无二，人成长过程中没有办法避免因为一个忽略或某种教育缺失而影响到一个幼年的形成，就像Ali和Josh，Ali的成人礼让我想起自己小时候的一个被遗忘的六一儿童节，悲愤的哭了一下午；而大一些的我也有时像Josh一样不自主努力在追寻什么，想要证明的自己，潜意识里总是缺乏认同与关注，好在我不会像Ali那样把自己的一事无成怪在被遗忘的一场陪伴上，拜托，成长过程中需要吞进去的多少次被遗忘的六一儿童节这样的磕磕碰碰，才能让我们如今的小心脏长些硬壳，收起不尽人意，好好与人相处，好在这乱世间麻木度日。
  so，no body stupid，最不能引起敬畏之心的行为就是伪装，而这之间还有些许不同在于装高装低装好装坏，关键在于目的，如果是想获得权力金钱的那种是最不能饶恕的虚伪，其次是博得他人俯首称臣而抬高自我威严的那种也是极其可笑。总之，伪装很容易被识别的，come on 别装了好么。
  Maura（Mort）是让我感到温暖并心生崇敬的那个长者，面对着一堆老大不小的熊孩子，他并没有要伪装自己以得到每个人的尊敬，而且他也没有要操控孩子的生活来圆满自己的晚年，对Ali这个一事无成的小女儿的宠溺与鼓励，她掩饰自己一事无成而当众埋怨Maura为什么取消自己的成人礼，任性的牢骚与指责一通，公然丢老爹一身的美钞，当天晚上对着回到家里扭捏的站在饭桌前的小女儿还是会宽容的说：“come on,honey”。
  可能很多家长也可以用宠溺来“宽容”自己的孩子，也有很多输在面子上彼此僵持，逞强。但面对家里每个都在伪装中挣扎的奇葩孩子，这些脆弱的年轻人还需要自我挣扎一番才能看到Maura早已撑起的一双强壮的臂膀和通透的心灵，也许，待到年华老去才能有所理解和感怀，他们在路上了。
 坦诚和理解正是我认为家人间最强韧的纽带，每一个人随着时间和空间的变幻能得到的最有力的支撑，而滋养这个纽带的其实就是爱，爱本身不是一个人人都拥有的能力，它不是和和美美才存在的，而一言不合就不给的，一个不独立，不自由的灵魂所具有的占有和支配的依赖那就不是爱是依恋，依恋缺乏彼此间的支撑，但爱可以。
  Maura一家人可能并无过多的长处，而且其中几个还可能一事无成并有孤独终老的危险总之每一个人都问题重重，他们之间相处在我看来并没有更容易：隐藏不尽人意的怪癖好职责别人的窥探，掩盖懦弱的真相还要阵阵有词，摇摆在自我迷失间伤人伤己，每一个细腻的情感与冲突并不罕见，但这家人拥有或者正在试着变得透明，强大自身，去拥抱家人，爱每一个迷途知返的灵魂。
 用我妈的话说：最近世界不太平。不同的种族与国家间争端不停，利益和观念是人类无论多高文明，多富有都很难迈过去的坎，至少现在无法。很多极端宗教者抱怨于世道变坏：弱者生存艰难，男人和男人在一起，世界末日降临等言论......以此笼络更多绝望的虐杀者，形成日渐庞大的势力，用仇恨掠夺着无辜者的生命。悲哀的现实是，这样的群体不会消失，想像下如果Maura生活的环境不想美国这么宽容的文化和阶层的话，他可能早被打死了。施暴者也许也是某种文化不能容忍的对象，无尽的杀戮潜伏在现代世界，很多来源于观念的封锁。
  用Open mind来面对不愿接受的遭遇，或者只是超出自己的观念的事物很重要，没有必要处处树敌，我们只是偶然生存在这个星球上的细菌，像Maura在camp camellia中与之忘我共舞的Connie的那段对话。

非常释放舞蹈着的的Maura抱着Connie问道：“你到底是谁”
Connie：“我们不过是几具肉体而已”
Maura：“是啊“，Connie：“对，仅此而已，只是一些人有阴茎而已”
Maura：“但是，嗯.....抛开阴茎"
Connie：“抛开阴道“，Maura重复附和着 “抛开阴道“。
Maura：“那什么重要........"
二人再无语言，醉舞。

我认为是爱，别无长处。

 
  

聊一下这个片子。前两年，别人问我美剧有什么不好，我可能会声讨一下美国那种大而化一的模范价值观吧。虽然有很多像美国丽人那样的美国本土电影已经把这个东西损透了，但是美国主流文化还是日复一日地重复着他们所谓的正统思想。什么是正统思想？其实就是一种积极阳光的成功哲学。这种想法本身没什么可说的，想一下哪个世界阴暗的角落不需要让励志鸡汤来帮持一把。但实际上，让所有社会上的人都朝着一个方向努力，最后达到一个非常完整人生的这种中产阶级之梦有着许多副作用。比如，在急功近利的同时，“完美”是最重要的，然而这种具有统一定义的完美并不是每个个体内心真正想要的。也就是说，为了达到这种主流价值观的要求，很多人会牺牲掉自己的幸福。如果留心的话就会发现，这中价值观的插入停留在很多电影电视里面，故事虽然俗套但是却被大众更易接受，何乐而不为呢？

但是不管怎么说，社会确实一直都在对以前进行着反思。对于美国来说，反叛性的电影小说音乐战后进入了黄金期，成了比较主流的边缘文化。电视剧则面向大众，这方面发展缓慢不级英国。

这部之所以出彩里一个重要的原因就是对美国以往的“完美”似生活的突破，编剧真是用心了。一般这种突破都是下一代比如把家里的儿子写成同性恋，儿子来和自己的父母在这些问题上进行冲突，而且儿子还不能是故事的核心，而是作为一个配角也就是一个边缘存在着。这种画风是几乎全部覆盖，就连专门做为同性恋电视剧的queer as folk都不能免俗。虽然以同性恋为中心，但是里面的男主却与直男的性格无比相似。以这种无比男人无比阳刚的出现在一部同志剧里无非是想去迎合主流价值观，收到更多人的接受。但是transparent真的在这方面无比无比的牛逼，编剧然最为争议最为让人无法接受的角色按在了父亲的身上，让他成为她，不是作为喜欢男人而是自我性别定义为女人的中老年男子当做主角。这样一来，LGBT不再是与父母反抗的儿女，而是他们自己的父亲。这就是编剧想告诉美国人民，并不是现在文化造成你们的孩子和别人不同。他们捅破了这层窗户纸，肯定让很多人都接受不了，而我却觉得实在是痛快非常，可歌可泣。

第二个出彩的因素就是四个字“不卑不亢”。这点实际上是super cool！太多太多的歇斯底里了，关于边缘人主题而言简直就是过度消费，为了基情而激情，专门拍给少不更事的腐女看。然而这部，作为漩涡中心的主人虽然要按照自己的方式成为女人，却是全剧最冷静最睿智最处事不惊的一个人，具备着最为完整的人类情感。一旦到了这份儿上，你要是再去怀着好奇之心去怜悯人家，就是你的见识短浅了。

既然是家庭剧，就还得说一下别的角色，也就是男（女）主那三个孩子。

大姐，要强，出色一直顺风顺水，知道遇到中年危机。这里的中年危机是年龄上的，她失去了与丈夫之间的感觉，又被工作子女拖累，整个人疲惫不堪。至于她是不是Les都不一定，她好像飘忽在两种性向之间。对于我而言，她更需要的是自己状态的改变，而不是对自己的恋情认真。因为这段拉拉情，她最明白自己的父亲也是第一个接受的。我并不欣赏她对前夫和自己现任的做法，但是我认同她对亲情的维护。

二弟，从小没有存在感，父母闹矛盾时正处于青春期，没有大姐的成熟也没有小妹的聪慧，他实际上在童年受到了最大的伤害。看完这部可能会有很多人不太喜欢他，对前女友对后面的女友他都处理的不对，表面上看上去想要个家庭很靠谱，实际上忽略了对方的感受很自私。但是对这个love addict我是充满了同情的，童年缺爱致使他这样，实际上内心深处还是那个没有人在乎的无法安放自己的青春期男孩，敏感而自卑。他对父亲的态度是很不接受的，除了自己是直男这个既定原因以外，另一方面大概就是父亲变化太大会遗弃自己吧。唉，我是很心疼这个“渣男”的。

最后说说三女儿。我想，所有，年轻人，都，能明白。年轻人还不想让自己的一生定下公式，人在二十岁的时候要是能看到自己五十岁什么样是很恐怖的，而且她有那么聪明，从小被父亲器重。在冥冥中，她觉得自己肯定不会有一种寻常的人生，所以她不停地换着兴趣爱好不停地尝试着跟不同的人生活。她可能过于痛苦觉得没人能理解，所以才会跟自己的父亲有难么大的争执。对于父亲决心做女人这件事，也就恍惚了一下就没起波澜了，因为她和父亲争论的另有焦点。



正视自己，有一份责任心就行了，抛弃什么选择什么这些要当机立断。

ok了，去看吧。
